The Mangekyō Sharingan (万華鏡写輪眼, Literally meaning: Kaleidoscope Copy Wheel Eye), noted to be the "heavenly eyes that see the truth of all of creation without obstruction" (天壌の理を掌握せし瞳, tenjō no kotowari wo shōaku seshi hitomi),[1] is an advanced form of the Sharingan that has only been activated by a handful of Uchiha.[2] It was also awakened by Kakashi Hatake — a non-Uchiha.[3]
The Mangekyō Sharingan has the ability to control the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox,[4][5] a feat only Madara and Obito Uchiha have displayed thus far.[6][7] It also grants them access to other powerful techniques. The Mangekyō Sharingan is distinguished from a normal Sharingan by its appearance, which changes the form of the tomoe seal. Unlike the Sharingan, the appearance of the Mangekyō Sharingan differs from user to user with all known wielders of the dōjutsu having eyes that resemble variations of pinwheels.
The Mangekyō Sharingan is awakened through the trauma experienced from the death of a person very close to the Sharingan user. With the user normally having to witness or experience this first hand, Uchiha throughout history have killed a person very close to them in order to expedite this process, though how Shisui gained his Mangekyō Sharingan has yet to be revealed. To obtain the Mangekyō Sharingan, one must feel the emotion of losing a friend or family, as merely killing them or watching them die will not activate it.
Over time, use of the Mangekyō Sharingan's techniques deteriorates the user's eyesight to the point of blindness.[8] Only by taking and transplanting the Mangekyō of another Uchiha — integrating the two pairs of eyes in the process — can the vision be restored, a process that results in the creation of an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan (永遠の万華鏡写輪眼, Eien no Mangekyō Sharingan).[9] It would appear that the tighter the blood ties are between the "donor" and the "receiver", the better it is for compatibility — a sibling for example seems to make the best donor.[10] The time from fusing the donor's Mangekyō with the receiver's Mangekyō to the point of full recovery is at least several days as seen in Sasuke's case.[11][12] Not only does this process permanently restore one's eyesight, but it also gives the person even greater increases in power. The Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan also changes form from the original Mangekyō form, to what appears to be a fusion of the wielder's own Mangekyō with the transplanted one. If an Uchiha with the Mangekyō Sharingan is reincarnated through the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation technique, they gain the ability to use the Mangekyō Sharingan for extended periods of time without complaints of any deteriorating vision, as seen in Itachi's case.
Madara was able to change his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan into the Rinnegan[13] after implanting the DNA of Hashirama Senju into himself, though the dōjutsu only awakened years after the implant, when Madara's natural lifespan was almost over.[14]
Mangekyō Sharingan Variations
Itachi Uchiha
Itachi Uchiha gained the Mangekyō Sharingan by aiding his best friend, Shisui, in killing himself.[15] With the Mangekyō Sharingan, Itachi was able to use at least three powerful techniques. With his "left Mangekyō" he could use Tsukuyomi, an extremely powerful genjutsu that allowed him to distort the victim's perception of time, torturing their psyche for what seemed like days in a matter of seconds. With his "right Mangekyō" he could use Amaterasu, a ninjutsu which creates virtually-inextinguishable black flames at the user's focal point that continue to burn until the target is reduced to ash. The last of these known techniques was Susanoo, which allowed Itachi to summon a massive ethereal warrior. This entity fights on behalf of Itachi and shields him from most attacks. According to Zetsu, when it is combined with the Yata Mirror and Sword of Totsuka it essentially made Itachi invincible. Itachi's Susanoo has three forms which it goes through: an incomplete skeletal form, a complete warrior-like form and a final form that resembles a yamabushi.
Use of the Mangekyō Sharingan put a great strain on Itachi's body and would quickly deplete his chakra reserves to the point that after using it three times in a day, he deactivated his eyes to their normal state.[16] A clone containing 30% of his chakra couldn't use it once. By the time he battled Sasuke, his sight had been reduced to a large blur, yet having resolved himself to dying at the hands of his brother, pushed past this limitation and used his Mangekyō Sharingan more than three times as well as other techniques. After Itachi's death, Sasuke, at first, refused to take his eyes despite his own deteriorating eye-sight, but eventually did so he could face Naruto at his best, obtaining an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan in the process.
Kakashi Hatake
Kakashi Hatake's Mangekyō Sharingan awakened, after the trauma of killing Rin Nohara with his own hands.[3] Despite its awakening, Kakashi only began to use the Mangekyō during Part II of the series, whether he knew he possessed it beforehand is unknown. Regardless, with this dōjutsu Kakashi can use a space–time ninjutsu known as Kamui to create a barrier and send a target to the other dimension and afterwards teleport them back in a new location. The barrier requires considerable effort to aim with precision, leaving Kakashi's chakra significantly drained; especially considering that Kakashi is a non-Uchiha. Initially, he could only handle two uses in a single day, left crippled for over a week from a third use,[17] and had poor control at aiming it.[18] However, after much practice, he can now even control the size of it to only affect the target he chooses, and use precise aim to warp speeding targets.[19] He can also use it twice in quick succession, without showing immediate chakra drain and fatigue, to counter Sasuke Uchiha's Susanoo arrows.[20] By the time of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kakashi became able to use it several more times in a single day, even with multiple other chakra-taxing techniques, and recover from an over-usage much quicker. His skill has grown to the point that he can use this technique on himself.[21]
Obito Uchiha
After witnessing Rin Nohara dying at Kakashi's hands, Obito Uchiha awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan.[3] As the two share the same pair of eyes, Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan also allows him to use Kamui, although his version differs from that of Kakashi's. Whereas Kakashi's version works on targets from a distance, Obito's version requires him to first make physical contact with a target besides himself and afterwards, he can teleport the target back from the other dimension. In addition, Obito's version gives him a form of "intangibility", brought about by him teleporting portions of his body for short periods of time to the other dimension in order to avoid damage or pass through obstacles. This also provides Obito immunity from Kakashi's Kamui being used directly against him since they both access the same dimensional space, though attacks being warped by Kamui to the other dimension can bypass Obito's intangibility.[22] He can also combine the spatial distortion of the Kamui with his Fire Release techniques to create a massive vortex of flames.
Madara Uchiha
Madara Uchiha, along with his younger brother Izuna, were the first Uchiha to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.[23] He eventually began to go blind from overusing it, and only by taking his younger brother's eyes, did he regain his sight.[24][25] This also gave him an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan which granted him even greater power.[26] His Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan looks like his original one, overlapping that of Izuna's.
Madara became one of the few to awaken Susanoo, as a result of awakening Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi in both eyes. Madara boasts a "perfect" full-bodied Susanoo that is equal in power to that of a tailed beast. He could also use his Susanoo to shape it around Kurama to protect it from Hashirama Senju. His Susanoo has shown unique attributes in that it has two faces and two sets of hands instead of a single face and three hands as seems to be the standard.[27] Madara can also completely control the Nine-Tails with the dōjutsu,[28][29][30] a feat which no one else but Obito Uchiha has achieved.[31]
Izuna Uchiha
Alongside his brother, Izuna Uchiha and Madara were the first two people in the clan to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan.[23] Madara later took Izuna's eyes to regain his deteriorating vision.[24] There are many, and somewhat conflicting accounts of how Madara acquired the eyes; some note that Izuna willingly gave up his eyes for the Uchiha clan's sake,[32][33] another implied that Madara took them by force.[24]
Sasuke Uchiha
Sasuke Uchiha awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan after learning the truth about his brother, Itachi; filled with grief from learning that Itachi was not the villain he imagined him to be and the role Sasuke placed in Itachi's death. Unlike other Sharingan, which have red pupils, and black irides, and red sclerae, Sasuke's Mangekyō is the first one that is shown to have a black pupil, red irides, and black sclerae.
Sasuke has been shown using the same Mangekyō Sharingan techniques as Itachi, but in an inverted manner. With his "right Mangekyō" he can use Tsukuyomi to break a target's will and paralyse them.[34] Danzō Shimura stated that Sasuke's version is not yet capable of altering the victim's perception of time, and thus is vastly inferior to Itachi's.[35] With his "left Mangekyō" he can use Amaterasu. It has been implied that his skill with Amaterasu surpasses Itachi's, as he is able to use Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi with his "right Mangekyō" to apply Shape Transformation to the flames, as well as extinguish them at will. Sasuke has displayed the ability to use Susanoo, which he can even partially manifest to fit the situation, such as using a ribcage for defence or manifesting only an arm to interact with his surroundings. Sasuke's Susanoo develops in stages during various battles; he first starts using an incomplete version against the Fourth Raikage, develops a version capable of firing arrows while fighting with Danzō, and later forms a version almost identical to Itachi's during his battle with Kakashi. Sasuke's Susanoo appears more demonic than Itachi's.
Due to his high chakra reserves, Sasuke is able to use the Mangekyō Sharingan techniques more than three times a day. Sasuke can maintain Susanoo for extended periods of time, on top of using the Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi several times a day along with some other chakra-consuming techniques like the Chidori. Like with all other wielders, Sasuke's use of the Mangekyō Sharingan puts a great strain on Sasuke's body and eyes.
Initially, Sasuke refused to transplant Itachi's eyes to restore his vision even when it was reduced to a heavy blur at best, claiming that his views were different from Itachi's. However, after meeting Naruto again and being shocked at his determination to save Sasuke from his darkness, Sasuke decided to take Itachi's eyes so that he could kill Naruto with his full strength. His Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan takes the shape of his old Mangekyō Sharingan, but incorporates a straightened version of Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan design into its centre. With his new eyes, the final form of his Susanoo takes on a more ghastly shape. However, it has been shown that Sasuke still has access to his Mangekyō Sharingan's original form.[36][37]
Shisui Uchiha
Shisui Uchiha awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan at some point through unknown means. It granted him the ability to cast powerful genjutsu techniques, the most powerful of his genjutsu arsenal being Kotoamatsukami.[38] This technique allowed him to manipulate an opponent's thoughts completely without them having the slightest idea that they were being controlled. Furthermore, this technique can be used without eye contact or even the need to uncover the eye if concealed.[39] The only drawback of using that technique was the fact that it would render his Mangekyō unusable for quite some time.[40]
A highly coveted ability, Shisui's right eye was stolen by Danzō Shimura while he was still alive.[41] After replacing his own right eye with Shisui's and infusing some of Hashirama Senju's DNA into himself, Danzō was able to drastically reduce the timespan between each usage of this technique. Shisui entrusted his left eye to Itachi Uchiha and told him to protect the village and the clan's name;[41] Itachi implanted it into a crow which he later stored inside Naruto Uzumaki.[42] Shisui then made it appear as though he had crushed his own eyes in order to prevent a feud over them and erased his existence, though it was thought that he was drowned by Itachi in the Naka River.[43] Both eyes are eventually destroyed, with Danzō crushing his before dying,[44] and Itachi incinerating the crow after it came back out of Naruto.[45]
Mangekyō Sharingan Forms
Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan Forms
- In the anime, in the fight against A, the internal intersection lines of Sasuke's Mangekyō Sharingan are replaced by a circle.[46]
- In the anime, when Kakashi used his Mangekyō Sharingan to warp away Sasuke's Susanoo's arrows, the black and red colours became inverted.[47]
- The manners in which an individual gains the Mangekyō Sharingan are almost parallel to how an Uchiha awakens their regular Sharingan for the first time, since both need intense emotions to awaken them.

Legislative Report
Saskatchewan has a proud history when it comes to our role in the Commonwealth. From a capital city named after Queen Victoria to King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visit in 1939 to The Princess Royal visit in 2007, we have long enjoyed a special relationship with the Crown. Evidence of that special relationship will be seen again later this month, when Their Royal Highnesses, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall, come to Saskatchewan. The royal couple will be visiting Regina on May 22nd and 23rd to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen's Diamond Jubilee with the people of Saskatchewan. On May 23rd, they will visit the Legislative Building to celebrate its 100th anniversary, then tour the First Nations University of Canada, and finish the day by attending a performance by the Regina Symphony Orchestra. To keep up with the latest royal updates you can download the Crown in Canada iPhone application here. If you have a Blackberry or Android smartphone, you can access that content at m.canadiancrown.gc.ca. You can also follow the latest updates on the 2012 Royal Tour Facebook page "The Crown in Canada" and on Twitter @TheCrownCa.
There was more good economic news this week about the Saskatchewan Advantage. Statistics Canada reported our economic growth in 2011 was at its fastest in almost 15 years, at 4.8 per cent. That's the best performance since StatsCan began recording this statistic in 1997; and currently second highest in the nation. The Saskatchewan economy is strong and growing and our government will continue to take action to ensure it stays that way.
With growth come challenges such as finding affordable housing.
Our government is working on many fronts to increase rental housing in Saskatchewan. The new Corporate Income Tax Rebate will deal with one of the concerns regarding the current corporate income tax structure, which has been identified as a barrier to the development of new rental housing in our province. The rebate will help add 10,000 new rental units to the province by the end of 2016 at a cost of $34 million for the first five years. Corporations eligible for this rebate will receive the two per cent small business tax rate instead of the 12 per cent general Corporate Income Tax rate. This is a real step forward to providing quality rental housing across the province. Applications for registering eligible new residential rental housing are available by visiting the Saskatchewan Housing Corporation website , calling toll-free 1-800-667-7567 or contacting the SHC office in Regina at 306-787-4177.
The Corporate Income Tax Rebate is only one of the tools our government is using to address the issue of affordable housing. The Minister Responsible for Saskatchewan Housing Corporation, June Draude, recently travelled to Newfoundland to participate in the Canadian Housing Renewal Association's 44th Annual Congress on Housing and Homelessness. This event brings together decision makers and policy experts from across Canada to discuss and find solutions for common housing issues. It is through meaningful discussion with those on the front lines and with stakeholder that we find innovative solution that makes housing accessible to everyone. While our government has made significant progress ensuring everyone benefits from the Saskatchewan Advantage, there is still more work to do.

Fan-filmed video footage of TERROR's January 22 performance in Solothurn, Switzerland during which a young man suffered fatal injuries following a stage dive can be seen below.
According to Blick.ch, the 28-year-old Solothurn man — identified as Felix A. — dove off the stage into the audience during the TERROR portion of the "Persistence Tour" concert, which was headlined by SUICIDAL TENDENCIES and featured additional performances by STRIFE and EVERGREEN TERRACE. "Unfortunately, crowd members failed to properly catch him and he fell to the ground," said Pipo Kofmehl, head of the Kulturfabrik Kofmehl venue, where the event took place.
In the clip below, TERROR frontman Scott Vogel can be heard introducing the band's next song and inviting the audience members to "stagedive, stagedive, come on, stagedive!"
The venue is far from full, and there are significant gaps in front of the stage. A few of the men do as the singer says and climb up before jumping into the crowd.
Is Felix A. one of them? It is not clear in the video.
Felix reportedly appeared to be fine after hitting the ground and was attended to by security staff and was seen walking around the venue afterwards.
Staff insisted Felix seek professional medical advice before heading home and he checked into a local hospital, where he suffered an epileptic seizure and died two days later.
Earlier today (Friday, January 31), TERROR posted the following message on Facebook: "Someone losing their precious life is saddening beyond belief — we are devastated. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Felix."
The prosecutor's office has launched an investigation into the incident.

Destructive force that relates to the incompressibility of water. The phenomenon often occurs when filling an empty pipe or quickly closing a valve. It often leads to pipe noise or even destruction of pipes, valves etc.
Water hammering is the sudden pressure build-up that occurs when water quickly changes momentum in a closed system.
Since water is almost incompressible, the energy of the moving water has nowhere to go if a valve is suddenly closed. This can result in a pressure wave which stresses the pipes, creating noise and in some cases destroying the pipes.
In regard to tall buildings, water hammering is often a subject because of the high geodetic differences which often necessitate high pressure and high velocity in the build-up phase. In commercial building applications, noise is often a topic, and in that perspective avoiding water hammering is very important.
Valves to reduce damage
Water hammering becomes a risk when valves are quickly closed in a piping system (i.e. solenoid valves). Non-return valves are often used to avoid the shock reaching the pumps, thereby minimising the risk of destroying the pumps. On some solenoid valves, the closing time can be prolonged, thus reducing the effect of a water hammer.
In applications where a quick closing of the valves is needed, special shock absorbers can be applied. A diaphragm tank can also help suppress the effect of water hammering.
Slow pressure build-up
Water hammering also becomes a risk when filling empty pipe systems. The water hammer appears when the pipes are full and the fluid suddenly stops its movement. To avoid this it can be an advantage to fill the system slowly and let the pressure build up over a longer period of time. Some booster systems facilitate a pressure build up function and can be pre-programmed to minimise the risk of water hammering.

Guidelines on how to approach marketing decisions for milk and feed.
By Chip Whalen, CIH
Many dairies are no doubt thinking about how to protect their profitability right now. Milk prices have declined from late last year while feed costs have recently increased. It is easy to get lost in all the confusion and not feel confident with how to approach marketing decisions, although there are some guidelines that can be followed, which may help.
First, it is important to know what your forward profit margins are projected to be out in the future. A margin model can be built which essentially organizes both your costs and revenues by production periods into a tool that will provide forward visibility of your profitability. Using the futures market as a price discovery mechanism, this model by extension becomes a margin discovery tool that can help you make better decisions about how to protect your forward profitability. While no one knows for certain what prices will do in the future, it is possible to put prices and profit margins within an objective context that can be evaluated to inform the decision-making process.
As an example, looking at a long-term chart of milk futures will show you that prices do not spend much time above $20/cwt. or below $10/cwt. Similarly, if you were to look at a chart of corn futures, you likewise will observe that prices above $8.00/bu. are quite high from a historical context while prices below $3.00/bu. (at least nowadays) are quite low.
Profit margins can also be examined this way. A profit margin projection can be compared to similar profit margins for that particular production period over some past historical timeframe, and ranked to determine how relatively strong or weak the current margin is.
Spot margins in the first quarter of 2013 are now being projected at a loss of $0.13/cwt. for a model dairy operation which ranks at the 30th percentile of the past 10 years. This means that 30% of the time within the past 10 years the dairy was losing more money during the first quarter, while 70% of the time the dairy was more profitable. By contrast, a projection of profit margins in the fourth quarter of 2013 is currently $2.53/cwt. for the same model dairy that ranks at the 90th percentile of the past 10 years.
Why are the two profit margins so different? For one, it has to do with revenue projections. Class III Milk futures for February and March are in the low $17.00/cwt. range while those for October, November and December are about $1.00/cwt. higher. Feed cost projections also factor into the difference. While nearby corn and soybean meal prices are trading over $7.00/bu. and $400/ton, respectively, new-crop corn and soybean meal futures are priced at discounts of $1.40/bu. and $70/ton to spot levels.
Whether or not Class III Milk will still be over $18.00/cwt. come the fourth quarter, or for that matter corn remains below $6.00/bushel, is anyone's guess, and it probably doesn't make much sense to spend too much time at this juncture being concerned with it. What does make sense to focus on, however, is the fact that the profit margin being projected based upon the relationship of these prices is currently at the 90th percentile of the past 10 years for the fourth quarter.
We often like to think of risk and opportunity as opposite sides of the same coin. Looking at the-fourth quarter profit margin, you might say that there is 10% opportunity for the profit margin to improve from current levels while the risk is 90% that the margin will be worse. When considering contract alternatives to manage this margin, it may make sense to preserve some opportunity for the margin to improve; however, it is probably much more important to address the greater degree of risk that is implied by the historical level of profitability. Viewing your marketing plan through this prism helps to make more informed decisions on how to protect both costs and revenues in the profit margin equation.
Continuing with the example of the fourth quarter, protecting milk might consist of some sort of minimum price or "floor" around current future price levels with a maximum price or "ceiling" above the market. As an alternative to simply locking in the milk price, which most dairies are hesitant to do anyway, this addresses the risk that profitability will deteriorate should milk decline much from current price levels. Yet it still leaves open the opportunity for higher prices to be realized if the milk market increases.
On the feed side of the equation, meal prices at about $368/ton and corn prices around $5.70/bu. suggest different approaches. Similar to milk, $368/ton is a historically high price for soybean meal, so a defensive strategy that protects some upside risk but leaves open a lot of downside opportunity might be considered. With corn, a more neutral type of strategy would seem to fit around what has been a slightly above average price in recent history.
As a new contributor to this space, I read through some of the recent articles submitted by others to the "Know Your Market" column. One in particular that caught my attention was written by Katie Krupa. She discussed the idea of remaining flexible to make adjustments with a marketing strategy. I think this is a key concept to grasp. With any marketing decision, you make contracting choices based on the information available to you at that time. As we all know, however, markets, prices and therefore profit-margin projections change as new information becomes available to the market. The whole point of "managing" margins is being flexible to make changes as conditions warrant.
Whatever your strategy happens to be, it is important to have a plan and stick with it in order to be successful. It is also important to weigh the costs and benefits of different contracting alternatives against the implied risk vs. opportunity profile of the marketing period being considered. Fortunately, there are tools and approaches available that can help inform better decision making.

Posted by: Saving Water SA (Cape Town, South Africa) – partnered with Water Rhapsody conservation systems – 08 February 2011
Thousands of hectares of agricultural land and crops have been damaged by floods and heavy rains in parts of southern Africa, and more damage may occur in the coming weeks if above normal rains persist.
This is raising concern about the food security of the affected population in the poorer parts of the sub-region over the coming months.
With the rainy season still only half way through, and with the cyclone season due to peak in February, several agricultural areas along the rivers in southern African countries remain at high risk of flooding, including portions of Botswana, Lesotho Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa.
Food insecurity already critical
"Food insecurity levels are already critical in the affected areas of some of these countries and floods will only further worsen the ability of poor farmers to cope and feed their families in the coming months," said Cindy Holleman, FAO [Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations] Regional Emergency Coordinator for Southern Africa. FAO is working with regional and national early warning systems to monitor the evolution in major river basins and to assess the impact on food crops.
Crops destroyed in Lesotho and Mozambique
In Lesotho, for example, one of the poorest countries in the sub-region, an FAO assessment team found that in some of the flooded areas up to 60 percent of harvests have been lost and over 4 700 livestock, mainly sheep and goats are dead.
Localized crop losses are also reported along river banks in southern and central Mozambique. The government has declared a red alert for central and southern Mozambique as water flows in the major rivers are above alert levels.
South Africa has already declared a national state of disaster in many districts of the country due to the floods that have destroyed thousands of hectares of crop land, and caused damages estimated in the millions of dollars.
FAO participates in flood assessments
A full assessment of the impact of floods on this year's cereal crops is not yet available.
FAO is taking part in various flood impact assessments being undertaken throughout the region. In addition, the Organization is providing governments with technical advice on flood monitoring systems, preparedness, and measures to prevent the outbreak or spread of animal disease, while simultaneously preparing for possible agricultural aid interventions such as the delivery of quality seeds, and restoring agricultural activities after flood waters recede.

The approval was formally announced by interior secretary Ken Salazar. He said the government had evaluated any potential impacts on the "environmental and cultural resources of Nantucket Sound".
The project's 130 Siemens 3.6MW turbines will have a nameplate capacity of 468MW and are expected to have an average output of 182MW.
According to the interior department, construction could begin this year. However, Cape Wind only has a PPA for half of the project.
In October, Cape Wind Associates Salazar signed a 28-year agreement, leasing the company 25 square miles of the outer continental shelf in Nantucket Sound, Massachusetts.

Big Global Warming Case Hinges on Weird Procedural Technicality
Nearly two weeks ago, I blogged about some strange procedural developments in the big global warming case coming out of the Gulf Coast, Comer v. Murphy Oil USA. On the eve of final briefing deadlines before the en banc Fifth Circuit, an eighth judge of that court recused from the case (we don't know the reason, but the previous seven recusals were presumably due to stock ownership) and so the court was faced with an unprecedented situation: losing an en banc quorum after previously having had enough of one to vacate the panel decision and grant en banc rehearing in the first place. We were all set to file our brief when the Clerk of the Fifth Circuit issued an order notifying the parties of the lost quorum and canceling the scheduled hearing — and nothing more. Out of an abundance of caution, we decided to go ahead with filing late last week.
Again, here's the situation: Mississippi homeowners sued 34 energy companies and utilities operating in the Gulf Coast for damage sustained to their property during Hurricane Katrina. The homeowners alleged that the defendants had emitted greenhouse gases, which increased the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which contributed to global warming, which accelerated the melting of glaciers, which raised the global sea level, which increased the frequency and severity of hurricanes, which caused the destructive force of Hurricane Katrina. The district court concluded that it lacked the authority to resolve the public debate over global warming and dismissed the case. A Fifth Circuit panel reversed this dismissal, holding that the homeowners have standing to raise some of their claims and that those claims are appropriate for resolution by the federal courts. The Fifth Circuit then granted rehearing en banc.
Cato filed an amicus brief on the energy companies' behalf, arguing that homeowners lack standing to bring their suit and that the case raises a nonjusticiable political question. Our brief asserts that the homeowners' claim does not provide a clear causal connection between the harm suffered and any particular conduct by the energy companies, and that the money damages the homeowners requested would not remedy the environmental harm alleged. More importantly, we maintain that political questions such as those surrounding climate change must be resolved by Congress, not the federal courts. Put simply, the Constitution prohibits federal courts from resolving highly technical social and economic policy debates. Permitting plaintiffs to achieve "regulation by litigation" would not only contradict settled Supreme Court precedent, but would betray the separation of powers principles embodied in the Constitution.
The Clerk has since directed the parties to brief the procedural issues surrounding the apparent lost quorum, which letter‐briefs came in this week (as a mere amicus, we did not file on this). I'll spare you the technical details, but there are three possible ways in which the Fifth Circuit could now rule: 1) the court actually does have a quorum and thus oral argument is resecheduled; 2) the panel decision is reinstated (with an ensuing cert petition appealing that decision to the Supreme Court); and 3) the district court is affirmed without opinion (the same result as when an appellate court vote is tied). Stay tuned — this is a truly weird denouement to a hugely important case.

PHOTOPHILE- Mothership rocks: Phish gets intricate in rebirth
Popular jam-band Phish reunited for three nights at the Hampton Coliseum this past weekend for the first shows since a muddy Vermont farewell in August 2004.
Photographer Tom Daly reports that the band opened the first show with "Fluffhead," a song they hadn't played since September 2000 despite incessant requests by fans. One of their longtime fan favorites, the intricate musical composition was widely seen as too difficult for possibly impaired band members–- including lead singer/guitarist , who was arrested three years ago for possession of heroin and prescription drugs.
"The fact that they were nailing these composed parts was a big statement," says Daly, "they are back!"
If the band is sober, not everyone in the crowd could say the same. Police arrested 194 concertgoers, confiscated $1.2 million worth of illegal drugs, and seized more than $68,000 in cash over the three nights, according to the Daily Press.

We offer all of our potential guests a list of references, people who have traveled with us and are willing to share their experiences. Today we heard from a favorite guest who had recently responded to such a request about our Galapagos MultiSport Adventure. She decided to share it with us as a thank you for her wonderful Thomson Family Adventures. Here is her review in its entirety (and no, she does not work for us!):
"Hi there…
It sounds as if you are in for a treat and an adventure! I cannot say enough good things about the Thomson Family experience. The Ecuador/Galapagos trip was the second I made with Thomson. The first was on Safari with two of my grand girls, the second, the multi adventure Galapagos, with my grandson. This past trip was wonderful as the first.
The Thomson guides are terrific. they are dedicated to making this an extraordinary experience for you and your family. They pay attention to your needs. They are interested and interesting. They keep the kids busy and informed.
The accommodations are first rate as is the food. The trip in general and the daily adventures were well planned and tight but with time to fully enjoy each experience. We loved the multi sport as we did something different all the time.
I was not looking to go from island to island, living on a boat and so found our trip fabulous. We loved our accommodations in beautiful inns and hotels, and the opportunity to camp on the beach for one night! Swimming in warm waters with baby seals coming up to your face piece was awesome. There are always guides with you on land , on sea, and in the water…
Jake, my grandson, was waterlogged much of the trip but whether it was exploring places on foot, horse or kayak, or hanging with the other kids (a blessing so he didn't have 'just me' all day plus the delight I had in enjoying a Vodka in the bar some late afternoons upon arrival) he was fully occupied.
Is it worth the money..Yep. As a grandmother who does extensive traveling with her 9 grandchildren and knows what it takes to plan a trip that is an adventure in and out of doors, I travel with Thomson to non-European locations (as they don't as of yet travel there) as they do all the planning and heavy lifting. For my Thomson trips, we simply show up.
I doubt whether, when it comes to places like Africa, Galapagos and the like, if I would have the wherewithal to know of the special places they book for us..find to feed us at,..or even how to get to camp on a Galapagos island. I also love the day we spend at a school, sharing our language and enjoying the similarities and differences of our schools and lives. The children become so involved with each other many of them end the day walking us to our bus and still talk through the window as we pull away.
I hope I have answered all your questions. Feel free to contact me again with anything else. If I do not hear from you I will assume you are on your way to a trip your family will always remember..

You're late for your job at the secret underwater lab. Dashing through the lobby you see two women step into the facility's sole elevator: the beautiful blonde heiress to the DOATEC fortune and that dark and mysterious scientist you've always expected has a hidden wild side. Do not get in that elevator.
The two latest characters revealed for Dead or Alive 5 rather predictable roster are not up for love in an elevator. Lisa "La Mariposa" Hamilton (no relation to Kirk "La Mariposa" Hamilton) and Helena Douglas are engaged in a dramatic battle meant to show off "Depth", another of the fresh new stages coming to the fifth numbered installment of the Dead or Alive series.
That relatively plain metal conveyance is more beautiful to me than either polygonal woman. I was certain Helena's reveal would drop us into another damn opera house stage.
This slow (then fast) and painful ride to the bottom of the ocean serves as further proof that Dead or Alive 5 is the kick in the pants the series needed. Along with the other amazing arenas we've seen so far and the sexy new online modes (15 player tournaments and a spectator mode with text chat!), this is shaping up to be a renaissance in shamelessly exploitative fighting games. I was bored. Now I am intrigued.
But not enough to get in an elevator with those two.

Sermon delivered November 30, 2008
Terrorists struck again, this time in Mumbai, India. No apparent goal existed other than to achieve maximum destruction and death of innocent civilians with particular focus on Americans, British and Jews. Death toll currently at 195 with nearly 300 injured.
It is another in a long line of terrorist attacks around the globe over the last twenty-five years but given greater attention since the attacks on the United States of America September 11, 2001. Lest we forget, let us remember the rise of violence on our own shores and in our own homes. Black Friday was truly dark with the 6AM trampling to death of a Walmart worker by stampeding shoppers. The increasing regularity of school shootings, domestic abuse and murder, and gang-related crimes are evidence that terror is breeding in our backyard too. What can we do to counteract violence, destruction and evil in the world?
Pray for Peace
First and foremost we must pray. We may not notice because we do it every week, but the Liturgy calls us to pray for peace-a lot. The emphasis on peace is quite strong. The first three petitions in the Great Litany at the start of the Liturgy, mention the word "peace." "In peace let us pray to the Lord. For the peace from above For the peace of God's holy churches and for the unity of all, let us pray to the Lord". That's why it's often called the Litany of Peace.
In fact, the beginning of almost every litany is a plea for peace. "Again and again, in peace let us pray to the Lord." During the Completion Litany, after the Great Entrance we pray, "For a perfect, holy, peaceful and sinless day, let us pray to the Lord .For an angel of peace For peace in the world For the remainder of our lives in peace For a Christian and peaceful end to our lives let us pray to the Lord" At the Anaphora, we pray that "we present the holy offering (of bread and wine) in peace." The people respond and sing, "A mercy of peace, a sacrifice of praise."
Later, the priest prays, "And for all those in public service, permit them, Lord, to serve and govern in peace that through the faithful conduct of their duties we may live peaceful and serene lives in all piety and holiness." Later, we pray that our Archbishop may serve the holy churches in peace. At the Dismissal, we pray, "Let us depart or go forth in peace, let us pray to the Lord."
Then in the Prayer Behind the Amvon, the priest says, "Grant peace to Your world, to Your churches, to the clergy, to those in public service, to the armed forces, and to all Your people." In addition, four different times the priest or bishop says, "Peace be with you" These are a direct quote of Jesus' words several times as recorded in the Gospels.
Peace Defined
What does peace mean? The Greek word for the Pacific Ocean is eirenikou. Pacific comes from pacify. The waters of the Pacific Ocean are relatively more peaceful than the Atlantic Ocean. The dictionary defines peace in relation to the public as a state of non-war, the end of hostilities and antagonism; mutual harmony; freedom from commotion, violence, strife and dissension; it is public order and security. It also defines peace in a personal sense as freedom of the mind from annoyance, distraction, anxiety, or obsession; peace is tranquility and serenity including silence and stillness. The actual word "peace" is from the Middle English pes which is a derivative of pais or the Latin pax. That's where the word "pact" comes from. Peace is like calm water.
However is prayer and pure passivity enough to sustain peace? The simple answer is "No", for if it were "Yes," there would be no need for security companies, police officers, soldiers and armies. The ideal we seek is peaceful co-existence but we know that not everyone is committed to this goal. In fact, many people seek the exact opposite-violence, destruction and murder-usually as a tool to achieve some other objective.
Lately however, an extreme nihilism and desire for death has been demonstrated in murder-suicides, suicide-by-cop, and suicide bombers (more correctly- homicide bombers). In order to stop this violence and murder, the threat and necessary use of greater force against the perpetrator is required. Some are called to serve others in occupations of law enforcement, security and military. Christ Himself stated, "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends" (John 15:13).
Prayers for Peace in the Liturgy
For those of us not serving in this manner, we must pray for those who do. Unfortunately, two petitions in the Great Litany of Peace are omitted from most English translations of the Divine Liturgy. They do appear in the Greek Ieratikon (Priest's Service Book) and they help us understand that the Church can and does pray for soldiers and against enemies.
First, in the petition beginning with "For our country and the President ", are the words that, when translated, read, "For our Christ-loving military of land, sea and air, let us pray to the Lord." Right after this, the next petition says, "For the fellow-fighters of the military and for the subjection under its power of every adversary and enemy, let us pray to the Lord."
I believe these petitions aslo apply to all law enforcement officers who fight crime and criminals on the local, state and national level. When we pray for them, we pray not only for their protection from injury and death, but as well for their victory over the forces of evil.
Prayers for Those Who Fight Evil
Often our media portray people in the military and law enforcement as lawless, corrupt bullies that harass and murder innocent civilians. While this may get more ratings from a curious public, it is clearly a gross distortion of the truth. Because they literally serve on the frontline against the forces of demonic evil, they are subject to extreme stress and temptation. It's easier for the devil to subtly undermine soldiers and law enforcement personnel than to fight them outright. Therefore, our prayer for them should include protection from stress and temptation to abuse their power or engage in any sinful activity that compromises their integrity.
Our prayers for peace in general and specifically for those who protect and preserve peace will mean precious little unless each one of us takes it as a personal responsibility and duty to promote peace between ourselves and others. Even more, we must strive for peace as the inner state of our heart and mind. However, as some know from experience, the struggle for peace is truly a battle within a larger war between our will and the demonic forces, between our eternal soul and our mortal flesh. St. Paul speaks of this inner struggle that each of us fights:
For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me (Romans 7:15-20).
Consider too these words from the Gospel of Matthew, "And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force" (Matthew 11:11). St. John Chrysostom says the "violent" who take the Kingdom "by force" are those who have such earnest desire for Christ that they let nothing stand between themselves and faith in Him.
Christ came to bring peace, but He also said Christians would face conflict:
If your hand or foot causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the everlasting fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire (Matthew 18:8-9).
Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's enemies will be those of his own household (Matthew 10:34-36; see also Lk.12:51-53).
We learn from Christ and St. Paul that pure passivity will by no means help achieve the peace of the Kingdom. Rather, we must actively battle, making extremely difficult choices that require great sacrifice which can bring about separation, pain, injury and death. Many pilgrims in the spiritual life attest to the fact that the journey is full of blood, sweat and tears. Clearly we see this manifested with Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, praying so intensely that He begins to sweat blood. The forces that act upon us and within us are also very great. Our struggle to attain righteousness and holiness, to do God's will, requires great effort on our part.
Peace Begins Within
So, if our life is sweet and easy, we might want to ask if we've really entered into the spiritual combat. It makes sense then that Jesus and St. Paul employ the terminology of warfare so frequently when talking about spiritual matters. One might wonder how this can be, warfare and peace spoken of in the same sentence? Like most things within the Orthodox worldview, it's a paradox. Even though the weaponry is different, our will, intelligence and cunning must be greater than the devil. It's really about who wants to win more and who's willing to make the greater sacrifice in order to win:
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 6and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled (2 Corinthians 10:3-6).
Christ is the solution to the war within us. By uniting with Him, the Holy Spirit can bring peace by empowering us to do battle against the forces of evil in and around us. Listen to the following two brief passages:
For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father (Ephesians 2:14-18).
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him (Colossians 3:15-17).
The battle to establish peace in the whole cosmos/creation begins here, in our heart and in our mind. Without actively participating in that struggle, we have little hope for bringing peace to our relationships with other people, nor in our prayers for peace throughout the world. Amen.
Turning to the Scriptures
- At the time of Christ's Nativity, the angels proclaim in "Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!" (Luke 2:14).
- Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27).
- These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world (John 16:33).
- How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, Who bring glad tidings of good things (Romans 10:15) (Isiah 52:7; Nahum 1:15).
- ...for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17).
- Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another (Romans 14:19).
- And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen (Romans 16:20).
- For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints (1Corinthians 14:33).
- Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you (2 Corinthians 13:11).
- But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law (Galatians 5:22-23).
- Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints (Ephesians 6:13-18).
- ...and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
- Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace always in every way. The Lord be with you all (2 Thessalonians 3:16).
- Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart (2Timothy 2:22).
- Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: (Hebrews 12:14).
- Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their prayers; But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil (1 Peter 3:11) (Psalm 34:12-16).

LETTER- You stop, Brazen Careerist!
I have enjoyed many of the articles written by the Brazen Careerist, but her piece extolling Sarah Palin as a "great career counselor" has cost her most of her credibility with me. [July 23: "Sarah Palin: She's a great career counselor"]
All politics aside, Palin's decision to leave office does not compare favorably or accurately to someone making a career change. Leaving a job under a cloud of ethics violation investigations just doesn't support the concept of running your own career, it appears to be more about running away. Call me old fashioned, but that is not a career path to emulate in my humble opinion.
Most of us have jobs that were given to us in trust by a small group of individuals. Palin's job was given to her by an entire state of voters. I fail to see how that comparison works in career management for the average professional.

Actresses need to be pickier than men about with whom they work if they want to survive in the movie industry, suggests a new study.
"My research indicates that women in the film industry suffer a lack of access to future career opportunities when they tend to work with people who have collaborated frequently in the past," said Mark Lutter, lead author of the study and head of the "Transnational Diffusion of Innovation" Research Group at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies (MPIfG) in Germany.
Skin color is a significant factor in the probability of employment for male immigrants to the United States, according to a new study by two University of Kansas (KU) researchers.
New research released today shows that workers at a Fortune 500 company who participated in a pilot work flexibility program voiced higher levels of job satisfaction and reduced levels of burnout and psychological stress than employees within the same company who did not participate.
This is the first time a randomized controlled trial has been used to measure the effects of workplace flexibility in a U.S. firm.
Lawyers keep the gates of public justice institutions, particularly through their roles in formal procedures like hearings and trials. Yet, it is not clear what lawyers do in such quintessentially legal settings: conclusions from past research are bedeviled by a lack of clear theory and inconsistencies in research design. Conceptualizing litigation work in terms of professional expertise, I conduct a theoretically grounded synthesis of the findings of extant studies of lawyers' impact on civil case outcomes.
Recent decades have seen the influence of the professions decline. Lately, commentators have suggested a revived role for a "new" professionalism in ensuring and enhancing high-quality health care in systems dominated by market and managerial logics. The form this new professionalism might take, however, remains obscure. This article uses data from an ethnographic study of three English health care improvement projects to analyze the place, potential, and limitations of professionalism as a means of engaging clinicians in efforts to improve service quality.
Durkheim's model of suicide famously includes four types: anomic, egoistic, altruistic, and fatalistic suicides; however, sociology has primarily focused on anomic and egoistic suicides and neglected suicides predicated on too much integration or regulation. This article addresses this gap. We begin by elaborating Durkheim's concepts of integration and regulation using insights from contemporary social psychology, the sociology of emotions, and cultural sociology.
If you want to mix drinks for a living, don't expect to have a typical family life.
That was the conclusion of a study by Tulane University sociologists Emily Starr and Alicia McCraw, who interviewed 40 New Orleans area bartenders for their study, "Barkeeps and Barmaids on the White Picket Fence: Bartenders, Gender, and Performative Adulthood," which they presented at the 111th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association (ASA).
For older adults, having more or closer family members in one's social network decreases his or her likelihood of death, but having a larger or closer group of friends does not, finds a new study that was presented at the 111th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association (ASA).
Death and mourning were largely considered private matters in the 20th century, with the public remembrances common in previous eras replaced by intimate gatherings behind closed doors in funeral parlors and family homes.
But social media is redefining how people grieve, and Twitter in particular — with its ephemeral mix of rapid-fire broadcast and personal expression — is widening the conversation around death and mourning, two University of Washington (UW) sociologists say.

In Huntsville, Alabama, Phoenix Services, an Army contractor, provides jobs to 300 physically or mentally disabled workers who produce harnesses for parachutes and burial flags for military funerals. All of them face layoffs because of the sequester. NBC Pentagon correspondent Jim Miklaszewski reports from Huntsville.
Sure, it's got a weird name. But the effects of sequestration may hit all too close to home for some Americans if lawmakers allow the cuts to take full effect later this month. One day after President Barack Obama signed an order to cut spending by $1.2 trillion over a decade, NBC News takes a look at how people may feel the pinch from New York to Chicago to Los Angeles.
New York
Young children in New York City's most disadvantaged neighborhoods might be among those affected by sequestration as Head Start programs face a 5 percent cut, NBC New York reported. In the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, the SCO Morris Koppelman Center is the only Head Start program in an area where almost half of neighborhood children live below the poverty line. "It's extremely difficult and very frightening to think what will happen to the families and the children in the community," Shana Hewitt, program director at the Morris Koppelman Center, told NBC New York.
Lone Star state schools, air travel, military operations and more stand to be trimmed, NBC Dallas-Fort Worth reported. The Texas state budget may lose $334 million in cuts to public education programs, and more than 285 schools stand to lose federal funding starting July 1 if lawmakers don't come to an agreement. Special education, English language classes, nutrition programs, early child intervention and family protective services could also be hit. The Texas Education Agency alone may lose grants totaling as much as $167.7 million, according to NBC Dallas-Fort Worth.
The military may see as much $100 million for operations vanish in Maryland, NBC Washington reported. Military facilities in Maryland may lose $95 million in base operations, and furloughs of civilian employees could result in a $359 million payroll reduction, according to a letter the Pentagon sent Gov. Martin O'Malley, the station reported. Outside defense spending, the Washington, D.C. Metro transit system could see a loss of $22 million between lost grants and decreased ridership.
Parents in California also worried about the potential impact on their young children as Head Start programs were trimmed, NBC Los Angeles reported. "We can't pay for it," Ismael Lopez said of other preschool options for his son. "Everything is so expensive." Cuts to funding for schools, the military and disability services could total $500 million, and primary and secondary education may see a $87.6 million cut, according to NBC Los Angeles.
The sequester likely won't be the doomsday scenario that some had predicted, as the cuts will kick in gradually, but there is public frustration at Washington for not doing more, sooner. NBC's Kristen Welker reports.
The budget cuts include slashing funds for the Federal Aviation Administration by about $600 million nationwide, NBC Connecticut reported. How much any resulting delays may cost airline passengers in travel time at the state's airports won't be known until the cuts settle in, said aviation consultant Ed Garlick. "We won't really know until we get into it. It could be minutes. It could be hours," he told NBC Connecticut.
Florida residents spoke out about their fears that the spending cuts may cast a cloud over the Sunshine State. "I think people are going to be affected locally, and I think people need to be angrier than they are at the fact that Congress is not working together to serve us as people," attorney Lynn Dannheisser told NBC Miami. Community hospitals and institutions of higher learning, including the University of Miami and Florida International University, may stand to see some of their funding dry up as a result of the cuts.
Scott Air Force Base, a major employer in Illinois, could be hit hard by the cuts, according to NBC Chicago. Head Start programs in Illinois would likely be hit, too. "It's not just cold-hearted. It's stupid economic policy," said Diana Rauner, president of the Ounce of Prevention Fund, a nonprofit that serves 1,300 Chicago children. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago is considering closing its doors for one work day a week if the cuts take full effect, said court clerk Tom Bruton.
The program Meals on Wheels is preparing for a worst-case scenario, according to NBC Philadelphia. Cuts to the program could mean waiting lists or stopping deliveries to home-bound clients altogether. "They wouldn't be able to stay at home and then they would probably end up in a nursing homes, which would cost the government a fortune," Bill Decamp of Lehigh Valley told NBC Philadelphia.
In a Meet the Press exclusive interview, Speaker of the House Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, weighs in on the automatic spending cuts known as the sequester and what's next.

While we wait for framing to occur, I thought you would like to see a couple of pieces a friend made me for my birthday. The first one is from a JCS issue and designed by Blackbird Designs. My friend used a metal frame (which I've since learned is no longer made) and wrapped the frame with paper. She attached a hanger, but as you can see by the back, there is also a pin so it can be worn.
The second piece is from With Thy Needle and Thread and done the same way as the first piece without the pin on the back:
I love these pieces so much and especially appreciate when someone does finishing for me as I am so finishing challenged it is embarrassing to admit. These will definitely be cherished.

Purchasing a new pair of sandals for the purpose of sporting them out is a great deal of fun. The purpose is because there are so many adorable choices accessible. If you're the kind of lady who likes to dress boldly when you head out for the night, you ought to consider a pair of stiletto sandals.

In addition to the heel found on these sandals, you can also discover choices that function a platform underneath the front.
To thoroughly clean the higher part of tennis shoes and sneakers, you can carefully use a moistened Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and tap drinking water to rinse them clean. I'm a firm believer in this item. So far, the magic erasers have taken off every type of grease, dirt and grime on each surface I've put them to. Or, if that doesn't do the trick- I'd be shocked if it didn't, though- attempt utilizing an old soft toothbrush and a multi-objective cleaner like 409 brand or Greased Lightning.
Today, winter boots have turn out to be a must-have to create a smashing fashion statement. So, if your wardrobe is nonetheless lacking these essential accessories, then grab some for this chilly fall today.
Make sure your shoes are suitable for the occasion. High heels appear wonderful when you place them on but will they be comfortable to put on for a complete day in the office? If you risk falling down the stairs you use numerous occasions a working day, then you require to wear footwear that is a bit more appropriate for your duties. Make sure the heel is the right dimension - if you have any - as nicely as some grip on the soles. When you're at the office all working day, you don't want to have to display the pain of sporting shoes that just don't really feel great. Nor do you want to break your ankle both. Therefore you ought to opt for footwear that are secure, practical and fashionable as you dress to go the office daily.
Business playing cards and materials ought to be printed in English on one side, Spanish on the other. Hand your cards out to associates, Spanish side upwards. How you conduct company is only one aspect in sealing the deal. Whether or not or not the counterparts like you and can create a rapport with you is the primary ingredient to closing the offer.
Cover it up and smooth it out. Appearing to be expert in the workplace demands interest to your undergarments. Wearing a padded bra can maintain women from having anything display via their shirts. As with something else, your undergarments ought to be wrinkle free. When it arrives to dressing for the office, you need to preserve a sleek, contained appearance, with the correct undergarments.
In this Japanese tea party, the women often speak and play board video games or chess. There aren't numerous actions in this kind of celebration simply because the theme reflect peace and serenity.
